I am repairing a Cape Dory 31 that was damaged during Ike. The rub and toe rails along with the box sprit need replaced. Since I would like to do some off shore crusing I would like suggestions on improvements I could make to the rails and sprit. I will also be replacing the stanchions and Pulpits and would like recommendations for them
